Gordon : “I Won’t Let You Down”

Social mobility down.  Youth unemployment up.  One in five state-school leavers functionally illiterate. Prudence, abandoned. Deficit at disastrous levels.  Last major country out of recession. Credit rating downgraded.  The country is broke.  No ending of boom and bust.  The lies, the bullying, the dithering, the politics of destruction.

Too late…

      So are the people who plan to vote for him. I can’t believe how close the polls are.

        Good point.

        If you have the expectation levels of the average Labour activist / voter – then Gordon hasn’t let anyone down.

            “a huge amount of Liebour’s ‘core vote’ are not even on the electoral roll in the first place!”

            Indeed Steve, but that has not stopped them casting (multiple) postal votes in the past has it?

            Do not underestimate the fraudulent depths which McScum and his evil band will plumb in order to rig the election result. This election (if it happens) is going to see fraud on a massive scale, perpetrated especially by the “brothers” in certain parts of Birmingham, Lancashire, West Yorkshire and East London. They are not going to let a simple thing like weak electoral laws get in the way of their “master plan”.

            Now, how was the postal voting system described by the Electoral Commission? Such as would “disgrace a Banana Republic”, was it not? Has anything at all been done in the intervening years to address this?

            Economics is not the only thing that McScum has learned at Mugabe’s knee.

            “most of them won’t make it to the booth”

            They won’t need to, now that the nice man from up the road will write your vote down for you on the postal ballot form and post it off.

            It’s so convenient, and saves you the trouble of trying to understand all that difficult English.

            If Labour’s ‘core vote’ isn’t on the electoral register wouldn’t that make Tory defeats in the last 2 general elections all the more shameful?

        It’s quite simple. Whatever one says, public fears losing jobs and this fear is compounded by the possibility of a Conservative victory. That is why Brown, for all his dreadfulness, is likely to be re-elected.

          Australian says:

          “public fears losing jobs and this fear is compounded by the possibility of a Conservative victory”

          Why, ffs? The people who will lose jobs in the event of of Conservative victory will be useless, non-productive types, thereby improving the lot of those who actually work productively for a living. If Labour are returned at the election, everyone who is productive and useful will be guaranteed of losing their job as the economy spirals into total collapse.

          • Scott says:

            everyone can see that except the Labour supporting nutties. they want it all to continue, and not have to face redunacy or pay CUTS like in the private sector. I’ve had a 20% pay cut to help keep my job. Will they make the same sacrifice in the public sector, hell no!! why should they, hence the high Labour vote.

            This is Labours Achilles heel, They have to make the cuts as well, where are their plans, what are they doing about it, Alistair Darling will have to announce some bad news on Budget day, or the press will seize on Gordons dithering and pondering.
            Mandy and Gordon can’t go into an election without making clear their economic plans for the country, it would be suicide.

            But hey, Labour announce the bad news the Tories say we will match them.

          • It really amuses me that people in the extortion funded sectors of the economy have the moral inversion to say capitalism (mutual reciprocation and the benefits of comparative advantage) is immoral and the extortion that funds them is moral.

            Fuck the “public” sector. They’ve fucked you.

        Who do you think the Millions of clients NuLab’s bloated client state will vote for?

        Millions of government employees in one form or another + perma-benefit types + millions of deliberately imported immigrants.

        The overwhelming majority will vote for NuLab of course. Against all reason of course.

        “Someone else will pay for it all.”

          Ruth Kelly's plaything says:

          Well put, Rog.

          To you and me, ‘government’ money comes either from taxes on us or from borrowing that we, in effect, guarantee. Either way, we are coughing up every penny, one way or another, and so we have owners’ rights over it.

          However, to most people, I believe, government money is parachuted in from an alternative universe. It just happens, like the weather. Nobody’s responsible for it and it comes and goes like the wind.

          So why should anyone get worked up about it?

The only thing is the electorate have short memories and the public sector want to be paid for their non jobs. The tories need to drum home it is the private sector that pays for everything and shoulders the burden of having to pay for this utterly useless government.

          Typical Labour Voter. says:

          I believe the news that the BBC tells me.

          I only use the internet to book cheap flights and waste time on facebook.

          I will be voting labour because the BBC told me that Brown saved us from a worse recession and now is not the time to change leaders and risk the recovery.

          I also believe in Global warming and we the north Pole will be ice free in a few years and the South Pole is melting quickly. the world’s oceans are rising fast by a couple of feet per year.

          I believe that the Government is democratically elected to serve the people and they have OUR best interests at heart and for that we should support them and that there is something creepy about the tories.

          Oh and Ashcroft is a thief a liar, a criminal and should be deported. No I have never heard of Lord Paul and I am sure he is a nice honest man and any criticism of him is clearly racially and politically motivated.

          I also believe that the government was working with the best of intentions and with the best intelligence available when they went to that good war in Iraq because Saddam DID have WMD and hid them from us by giving them to terrorists who want to kill us.

          Surely the BBC would inform us if these things were not true? After all they have a duty to be impartial.

          I am the sort of suicidal twat who would kill his family first, so I will vote Brown.

          That is what Britain under Brown has become – a suicidal, reality denying debtor who has maxed out on his credit cards, bulshitted his creditors for as long as possible and is on the verge of either reposession or national suicide. Never mind Foot’s manifesto – I can guarantee that the Labour manifesto for the next election will be the ultimate suicide note.

        Be careful. The media are lazy or Liebour owned. Let’s take the headline about polling being level in the marginals. Not quite true:

        It didn’t include LibDem marginals, or the top 50 Con-Lab marginals. It was a poll of the Con-Lab marginals from 51-150.

        Why use a subset of data unless you want to make up a question to fit your answer? Why ignore the rest? A bit like climate change statistics.

        The polls are real. Enough sheeple in this country will vote (and justify) anything if it keeps their non-job safe and their house-price up. They have NO understanding that the last year has been paid for with massive borrowing, QE and various liquidity measures. They have NO idea that this must all be paid back in one form or another. They are safely bought until after the election when the wheels will undoubtedly come off.

        If Liebour get through the budget without a ratings downgrade, and the remnant effects of QE and massive borrowing manage to scrape a positive Q2 GDP, then like-it-or-not, Brown is home and dry.

        The only compensation will be that when these idiots finally realise that they’ve been comprehensively lied to, then Brown will undoubtedly become the most hated politician of the century.

          The mess the country is in demands leaders that view the challenge as similar to than faced after the wreckage of WW2.

          A major programme of economic and social reconstruction is needed – preferably not one informed by the socialist vision that blighted immediate postwar politics.

          Where are the leaders who would put that programme forward?

          To my horror, the only ones sounding even faintly like it are the lying, incompetent Brown and his gang of twerps who got us into this mess in the first place (the effrontery!). None of the Tories sounds anything like so authoritative.

          Brown's a Tosser says:

          There will after the election be an almighty backlash if Labour in any from get some degree of power. It might be bad now but after the GE it is going to be horrific. Inflation a given and hence a rise in interest rates. If you have a mortgage watch as your mortgage payments rise month by month. The effect of QE and the so called non stimulus have brought about flatline growth and that is being generous. The deficit is huge and the growth predicted will not even be close to reality hence greater borrowing. If labour supporters think things are good now and support this hoon for five more years they better be secure in the knowledge their job is safe and they can support rising costs of just about everything for that is what is coming. With the tories you know what is coming and fiscal responsibility is in their DNA unlike Labour. The public sector must carry more of the burden and in some way the private sector needs regenerating for that is what produces money to the exchequer. The country is going to hell in a hand basket and it is due solely to Labour supporters who should and will in time hold their heads in shame.

      “Opposition need to stand up and fight during the election”

      Dear me, you don’t seem to understand, my dear chap. Let me explain. ‘Fighting’ carries all sorts of negative connotations that might be associated with what we Tories used to be. It brings to mind (shudder) Norman Tebbit and his sort. That would never do for today’s modern, caring Tories.

      No, what we do is smile for the cameras and promise whatever the Prime Minister promises, only better. That way we can never be criticised for negativity or for talking Britain down. We expect to win because my skin is smoother and my teeth are better than Gordon Brown’s. Oh, and I don’t do that funny thing where he pulls his lower jaw down mid-sentence.

      All in all, ours must be a winning package.

      Too late. Manufacturing is now in direct competition with Asia. Only by reducing costs to Asian levels and working Asian hours and with manufacturing growing from its current 13% of GDP back to a healthy 25% would with 10% annual growth take quite a few years.

      Britain, under Labour is in a classic debt deflation trap. The domestic private sector and the government sector cannot both deleverage at the same time unless a trade surplus can be achieved and sustained. Yet the whole world cannot run a trade surplus. More specific to the current predicament, we remain hard pressed to identify which nations or regions of the remainder of the world are prepared to become consistently larger net importers of Britain’s tradable products. Countries currently running large trade surpluses view these as hard won and well deserved gains and will defend their status vigourously.

      All in all, doesn’t matter who wins, Britain is now crashing to the Third Division.

      We had a good party (some of us) on borrowed money.

    Trust me says Gordon. I’m in charge of the ship and I know what I’m doing.

    So, here’s the chart of the voyage so far:

    Gordon Brown has introduced 111 tax rises since 1997. He has taken an additional trillion pounds in revenue – that is to say, a trillion more than would have been raised had taxes stayed at their 1997 levels. And yet, incredibly, he has still contrived to double our national debt, running up a deficit of 12.6 per cent of GDP (Greece’s is 12.7).

    Truly the crappiest Captain of a ship of fools.

      Gordo’s big repeated claim is that he approved all ‘Urgent Operational Requirements’, and indeed there were plenty of them. As these were all emergency, ‘sticking plaster’ requirements, it completely undermines his argument that troops were properly equipped in the first place. With proper equipment, the military would not have had to put in all these UOR’s. I wish the media would pick up on this.

      There’s a sort of Newtonian quality to economics so I present the effects.

      Petrol up 7p = Transport cost up 10% = 2% less economy
      Beer up 6p = Less pub sales = Less student employment etc.
      Cigs up 12p = Less cigs sold = More high street shops empty.
      Int rates no change = Falling pound = Increased cost of imports = 2% fall in economy
      NI up 1% = Less Pay= Less spending = Less work = Less economy.
      Earnings Tax up 2% see above.
      Vat on food 15% = Funnily enough probably more people eating out in fast food.
      Vat up 3% to 20% = Economic disaster.
      Poll Tax 12% = Lower house prices (not such a bad thing) = More bankrupt banks.

He has to say he will get rid of the proscriptive parts of the Human Rights Legislation and return to Britons ruled and protected by Britons. dave needs to say he will keep the Brussels legislation he likes and ignore the stuff he doesn’t like France and Germany do.

    Give us clear policies of self determination on crime, education, transport, imigration, the economy, NHS and immigration.

    Above all, Dave has to communicate effectively that Gordon Brown has driven this country to it’s knees and will never ever return to our past global position of power.

    no mention of Lord Appaul in any broadcast
    the giving of air time to top labour party scum to push the ashcroft affair with no defence being given to the tories
    i ended by saying that the BBC had out stayed its welcome and should be shut down and sold off !
    The reply was : i note that you have concerns regarding political bias in favour of the labour party
    and with reference to lord ashcroft
    bbc journalists are aware of our commitment to impartial reporting and seek to provide viewers with information to enable viewers to make up their own minds
    and to show political reality and provide forums for debate whilst giving full oppertunity for all view points to be heard
    the bbc does not seek to denigrate any view nor to promote any view it seeks to identify all significant views and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of our audience
    amog other evedence audience research indicates widespread confidence in the impartiality of the bbc with regards to non doms it is not always possable or practical to reflect all the different opinions on a subject within individual programmes or reports

    It’s impossible not to be impressed by the growing scale of gordon’s lies. At pmq’s today he said in response to cameron’s question about equipment for troops in Afghanistan that he had always given them everything they have ever asked for!!!!

    How then does he explain the passage in the recent Coroner’s report into the deaths of those four young soldiers that ‘ the Commander asked for safer vehicles but had been refused on account of the equipment shortages’

    The Coroner has ruled their death’s ‘unlawful killing’. gordon is personally responsible for those deaths and the many more that have died in those snatch landrovers or for want of helicopters. But as he shows every time he opens his mouth, he has no conscience and is completely indifferent to the death’s of all those young people.

They are however subject to restrictions on discussing matters on behalf of HMF/Govt/MoD/Political parties and so purdah may come into play for servicemen acting as official spokesmen, but as far as I am aware there are no official announcements made via this site. If the press want to plunder the site for quotes they are free to do so, as nothing is attributable to the MoD and all opinions voiced are entirely that.

      The first question at PMQs was a friendly planted one – about non-doms. The PM then accepted – in the House – that Ashcroft had done nothing wrong in his tax affairs, and had met all obligations that he’d made. (My suspicion is that a backroom deal had been done between Labour and Tories; make a public apology, and we won’t bang on about your lies over this one, or won’t do a similar smear operation on your non-doms.)

      But McRuin, having made his apology (of sorts) then promptly forgot and resorted to banging on about it again. No wonder Dave looked incredulous – getting Broon to accept a straightforward truth must be like trying to nail jelly to a ceiling.

      • 305

        My mistake – it was the second question, and Broon just used it as an excuse for another dig. No apology at all – which blows my theory about a back-room deal out of the water.

        Sometimes, it’s worse than that.

        I don’t doubt that a majority of us posting here have run into the classic “it’s in our DNA” Labour voters recently but the ones who really worry me are people like a mate of mine. He’s a company director (multi-national outfit), mid-40′s, generally capable of thinking and is a politics graduate from one of the more reputable Unis (when there was a difference…).

        His attitude ? “Whatever you think, it would be way, way worse under the Tories”.

        No rationale, just that under the Tories it would be “way, way worse”. Labour would only make nice, caring cuts – if they made any at all.

        The difference ? He grew up at a time after the IMF, the three-day-week, power cuts, uncollected rubbish in the streets and un-buried bodies in the morgue. He only remembers the poll tax riots, the miner’s strike, 15% interest rates and “the Falklands saved Thatcher”.

        In the era of debt-fuelled consumerism, soundbytes and celebrity “real lives”, history doesn’t even get a look-in.

        And for every one of us out there who remember, there’s one of him, who doesn’t. More to the point, he doesn’t give a shit. He’s OK. For now.

        Maybe the old adage is about to prove itself out agin – those that can’t, don’t or won’t remember will be doomed to repeat. Maybe it’s what’s needed but one way or the other, I think this is going to be a close call.

          Same old story says:

          Agreed.

          I grew up in the 70′s and remember the complete collapse of British industry under Labour and their union buddies who regarded modernisation and rationalisation as a class attack by the ‘bosses’.

          Britain was the sick man of Europe with a crumbling victorian infrastructure, coal mining which claimed dozens of lives annually and caused thousands of painful, premature deaths. Only only the hope of the North Sea with natural gas (previously gas was derived from dirty coking) was to be our salvation.

          I was pleased when the coal industry collapsed…we were not only the least productive, strike ridden hole in Europe ,but our polluting smoke stacks caused acid rain over Scandinavia and our nuclear industry polluted the Irish Sea with radioactivity from Windscale.

          What was the political background?

          1964 – 1970 Labour

          1974 – 1979 Labour

          70% was under a Labour government

          Each generation must relearn from its own experience, and each generation is subject to the deadly siren song of ‘Vote Labour for a perfect world’. What a lie socialism is.

          • > our polluting smoke stacks caused acid rain over Scandinavia

            This was a lie. Look at the wind direction after Chernobyl. It was Communist Europe that was causing this pollution.

            This was the first MSM lie that alerted me to their untrustworthiness.

            The minister had actually enquired as to rates of Tax under Labour in the 70s as compared to now. The minister simply could not believe that High rate tax on income was 83% and 98% on investment income. After the civil service brought him to his senses he retorted by saying, well that was Labour and we’re New labour. Some people are wilfully ignorant and will ignore the truth even when they are slapped in the face with it!

      A psychiatric report that paved the way for the promotion of Gordon Brown, one of the UK economy’s killers, concluded that he posed a “trivial” risk to the public, The Daily Wail has learnt.

      The document, which formed part of the legal case for Brown’s enthronement as Prime Minister under his old identity, said that the danger of him reoffending was “so negligible as to not amount to a serious consideration”.

      The assessment, prepared by a leading psychiatrist in 2007 but seen in full for the first time today, said that Brown had made “exceptional psychological progress” and had come to terms with the horrific incompetence he had displayed as Chancellor.

      It said that the chances of him being rehabilitated were “very high” but remained “strictly contingent” on a continuing programme of “appropriate support and guidance” and the protection of his public image.

    GO ON GORDON MY SON

    Gordon Brown declared today that he had the “character” to lead Britain through to economic recovery as he warned that “ideologically-driven” Tory plans for cuts risked tipping it back into recession.

    The Prime Minister used a speech to a City audience to set the stage for a May 6 general election, announcing that the Budget would be held in “two weeks’ time” – taking it to March 24.

    He insisted that it was not a matter of voters choosing between “policy” and “character”, as the two issues were inextricably linked.

    “It is for other people to judge but I believe that character is not about telling people what they want to hear but about telling them what they need to know,” he said.

    “It is about having the courage to set out your mission and the courage to take the tough decisions and stick to them without being blown off-course, even when the going is difficult.

    “For better or for worse, with me what you see is what you get.”
